  • Summary

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Probably that I'm getting old, but who cares about image, it's a handsome car.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Mixed some love it some hate it, I notice the mention of the name Rover makes over 45's think quality and the under 45's think rusty metro !

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    If Rover still existed definately, ironic that it's the best car Rover have made for probably 40 years and then they go bust !

    What are you likely to buy next?

    No idea , I don't know of a better car, X type Jag are too much like pimped up mondeos, we'll have to see if MR TATA will do anything with the Rover name.

    Easy with sensors, easy without using the old lorry drivers trick of picking a point on the vehicle to line up with what you're reversing to. (chrome door handle in this case)
